Summary: Worst Writers Handbook Ever
Comment: I would expect a book written for the purpose of teaching others on how to write would have at least correct grammar. This is FAR from the case for this book. Grammatic errors commonplace in this handbook. I would not recommend this handbook to anyone.
Rating: 2
Summary: merely adequate
Comment: every english major and writer should have a freshman comp handbook. this one is okay. it covers everything well enough.and if it weren't for the Little, Brown Handbook, i might suggest the Scott, Foresman Handbook. But the little brown handbook is by far superior, and i suggest that anyone interested in the scott foresman, or any other freshman comp handbook, check out the little brown before making a purchase.
Rating: 3
Summary: Straightforward and Comprehensive
Comment: This book is aimed mostly at students and inexperienced writers. The subjects covered range from commonly-confused words to punctuation to creative inspiration to revision to research papers and business letters -- basically, everything. For students, there are sections on how to write for particular academic subjects.
As a general reference, this book has just about everything you'd need, although the sections on computerized research and word processing are a bit outdated. There is plenty of advice for people who need help with grammar or who are trying to make their writing less awkward and more effective. It is well-indexed, allowing you to quickly find answers and advice, which is good because plodding through the book sequentially (even with the help of the table of contents) would be very tedious.
